Eva’s paper titled Empowering Responsible Design Literacy: Identifying Narratives in a New Curriculum, opened the special issue. Eva documented the possibility of Design Literacy to help educate more informed and responsible citizens. She did this by interrogating the new national Norwegian curriculum in the Arts and Crafts subject area. Then she mapped out specific opportunities and challenges for Design skills to be embedded in K-12 education. The paper presented an interesting national curricular response that created an opportunity for Design literacy to be incorporated within the K-12 general education system. Although this idea was promoted two decades ago, Eva Lutnæs provides an account of how it can be operationalized. Thus, the critical aspect of Lutnæs’ contribution was that the outlined national educational initiative can serve as a model for other groups looking at Design as a possible educational framework.
